In issuing the first number of the New England Official Directory 
AND General Hand-Book, I desire to make a few explanatory remarks. 
The objects of the book are : — 

I. To give, in as compact a form as possible, a complete directory, 
corrected at least once a year, of all the official and professional men of 
New England. By official men, I mean all who hold an office, by election 
or appointment, within the gift of the town, city, county, State, or 
United States. By professional men, I mean doctors, lawyers, clergymen, 
instructors,- teachers, &c. 

II. To give short, accurate biographical sketches of all official and 
professional men in New England. 

I do not profess to have succeeded perfectly in either department of 
this twofold undertaking in this first edition. On the contrary, there is 
no expectation on my part of perfecting or completing the biographical 
side of the work short of two or three years. But efforts will be 
continued, and additional biographies inserted in each issue, until the 
list embraces sketches of all the official and i)rofessional men of New 
England. These Avill be re-published, with corrections and additions each 
year, and will be dropped only on the death of the parties rep^sentcd. 
The extension of this list will considerably enlarge the work, but the 
price will remain permanently at four dollars and fifty cents. A smaller 
type may be used in the sketches hereafter. 

In preparing the biographical sketches in this book, the managing 
editor has received valuable assistance from William E. Graves, Esq., 
a well-known Boston journalist, of large experience and extensive 
acquaintance throughout the New England States. 

The general directory side of the work will also be enlarged, improved, 
and made more perfect from year to year. Several classes of officers 
have been omitted in this issue, as elections were taking place about the 
time it went to press, but these will be included in the next edition, 
However, upon the whole, it will be found as correct as it was possible 
to make it under the circumstances. 

Before consulting the directory for any name, it will bo absolutely 
necessary to refer to the Index, excepting only biographical sketches, 
which have been arranged alphabetically. All names have been arranged 
either alx)habctically or by towns, as the case seemed to require. 



6 PREFACE. 

The matter lias been crowded in very closely, and may seem a little 
complex for a reference work on this account, but the reader's patience 
will bridge over this infelicity when it is remembered that all this is 
done to make the work as cheap as possible. 

It should be borne in mind that no advertisements disfigure this work, 
— a departure that ought to meet with enthusiastic approval. If the 
usual amount of space were devoted to advertisements, the price of the 
book might be made one-half less, but, unless I greatly mistake, 
subscribers will prefer the book without advertisements. 

The work will be issued with a new set of plates annually, as early in 
May as possible, and corrected editions will be issued quarterly.

A ]M':CLAIiATION 

by the ItEPHESENTATIVES OF THE 
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN 
COXGUESS ASSEMIJLED. 
When ill the course of human 

events it becomes necessary for one 



26

people to dissolve the political 
bands vliicli have connected them 
vith another, and to assume among 
the powers of the earth the sepa- 
rate and equal station to vhich the 
laws of nature and of nature's God 
entitle them, a decent respect to 
the opinions of mankind requires 
that they should declare the causes 
■which imiDcl them to the separa- 
tion. 

We hold these truths to be self- 
evident : that all men are created 
equal; that they are endowed by 
their Creator with certain inalien- 
able rights; that among these are 
life, liberty, and the pursuit of 
happiness. That, to secure these 
rights, governments are instituted 
among men, deriving their just 
IDOwers from the consent of the 
governed ; that whenever any form 
of government becomes destructive 
of these ends, it is the right of the 
people to alter or to abolish it, and 
to institute a new government, lay- 
ing its foundation on such iDrinciples, 
and organizing its powers in such 
form, as to them shall seem most 
likely to effect their safety and 
hai^piness. Prudence, indeed, will 
dictate, that governments long es- 
tablished should not be changed 
for light and transient causes ; and, 
accordingly, all experience hath 
shown that mankind are more dis- 
posed to suffer, vrhile evils are suf- 
ferable, than to right them by abol- 
ishing the forms to which they have 
been accustomed. But vhen a long 
train of abuses and usurpations, 
pursuing invariably the same ob- 
ject, evinces a design to reduce 
them under absolute despotism, it 
is their right, it is their duty to 
throw off such government, and to 
provide new guards for their future 
security. Such has- been the pa- 
tient sufferance of these colonies, 
and such is now the necessity which 
constrains them to alter their former 
systems of government. The his- 
tory of the present King of Great 
Britain is a history of repeated 
injuries and usurpations, all hav- 
ing, in direct object, the establish- 



ment of an absolute tyranny over 
these States. To prove this, let 
facts be submitted to a candid 
■world. 

He has refused his assent to laws 
the most wholesome and necessary 
for the public good. 

He has forbidden his Governors 
to pass laws of immediate and 
pressing importance, unless sus- 
pended in their oxjeration until his 
assent should be obtained; and 
when so suspended, he has utterly 
neglected to attend to them. 

ile has refused to pass other laws 
for the accommodation of large dis- 
tricts of people, unless those people 
would relinquish the right of rep- 
resentation in the legislature, — a 
right inestimable to them, and for- 
midable to tyrants only. 

He has called together legislative 
bodies at x)laces unusual, uncomfort- 
able, and distant from the deposi- 
tory of their public records, for 
the sole purpose of fatiguing them 
into a comx^liance with his meas- 
ures. 

He has dissolved representative 
houses repeatedly, for opposing, 
with manly iirmness, his invasions 
on the rights of the peoi^le. 

He has refused, for a long time 
after such dissolutions, to cause 
others to be elected ; whereby the 
legislative powers, incapable of an- 
nihilation, have returned to the 
people at large for their exercise, 
the State remaining, in the mean- 
time, exposed to all the danger of 
invasion from without and convul- 
sions within. 

He has endeavored to x^revent the 
pox)ulation of these States ; for that 
purpose, obstructing the laws for 
naturalization of foreigners ; refus- 
ing to pass others to encourage 
their migrations hither, and raising 
the conditions of new appro^jria- 
tions of land. 

He has obstructed the adminis- 
tration of justice, by refusing his 
assent to laws for establishing ju- 
diciary x)owers. 

He has made judges dependent 
on his will alone for the tenure of 



1878-9.] 



GENERAL HAND-BOOK. 



27 



their offices and the amount and 
paymeut of their salaries. 

He Las erected a multitude of 
new offices, and sent hither swarms 
of officers to harass our x)eople, and 
eat out their substance. 

He has kept amon<x us, in times 
of peace, standing armies, without 
the consent of our legislature. 

He has atfectcd to render the 
military indep<indent of, and supe- 
rior to, the civil power. 

He has combined, with others, to 
subject us to a jurisdiction foreign 
to our coustitiition and unacknowl- 
edged by our laws ; giving his as- 
sent to their acts of x)retended legis- 
lation : 

For quartering large bodies of 
armed troops among us : 

For protecting them, by a mock 
trial, from punishment, for any 
murders which they should commit 
on the inhabitants of these States: 

For cutting off our trade with all 
parts of the world : 

For imposing taxes on us without 
our consent : 

For depriving us, in many cases, 
of the benefits of trial by jury : 

For transporting us beyond seaS 
to be tried for pretended offences : 

For a1)olishing the free system of 
English laws in a neighboring prov- 
ince, establishing therein an arbi- 
trary government, and enlarging its 
boundaries, so as to render it at 
once an example and fit instrument 
for introducing the same absolute 
rule into these colonies : 

For taking away our charters, 
abolishing our most valual)le laws, 
and altering, fundamentally, the 
powers of our governments : 

For suspending our own legisla- 
tures, and declaring themselves in- 
vested with i)ower to legislate for 
us in all cases whatsoever: 

He has abdicated government 
here, by declaring us out of his pro- 
tection, and waging war against 
us. 

Ho has plundered our seas, rav- 
aged our coasts, burnt our towns, 
and destroyed the lives of our peo- 
ple. 



He is, at this time, transporting 
large armies of foreign mercenaries 
to complete the works of death, 
desolation, and tyranny, already 
begun with circumstances of cruel- 
ty and perfidy scarcely paralleled 
in the most barbarous ages, and 
totally unworthy the head of a 
civilized nation. 

He has constrained our fellow- 
citizens, taken captive on the high 
seas, to bear arms against their 
country, to become the execution- 
ers of their friends and brethren, or 
to fall themselves by their hands. 

He has excited domestic insurrec- 
tions among us, and has endeavored 
to bring on the inhabitants of our 
frontiers, the merciless Iiulian sav- 
ages, whose known rule of warfare 
is an undistinguished destruction, 
of all ages, sexes, and conditions. 

In every stage of these oppres- 
sions, we have petitioned for re- 
dress, in the most humble terms; 
our repeated petitions have been 
answered only by repeated injury. 
A prince whose character is thus 
marked by every act which may 
deline a tyrant, is unfit to be the 
ruler of a free people. 

Nor have we been wanting in 
attention to our British brethren. 
We have warned them from time 
to time, of attempts made by their 
legislature to extend an unwarrant- 
able jurisdiction over us. We have 
reminded them of the circumstances 
of our emigration and settleinent 
here. We have appealed to their na- 
tive justice and magnanimity, and 
we have conjured them, by the ties 
of our connnon kin<lred, to disavow 
these usurpations, which would in- 
evitably interrui)t our connections 
and corres)M)n(lence. They, too, 
have been deaf to the voice of jus- 
tice and consanguinity. We must, 
thereforti, ac(|uiesc(^ in the neces- 
sity, which demands our scjjara- 
tion, and hold them, as we hold the 
rest of mankind, enemies in war — 
in ])(!ace friends.

tives of the United States of Amer-

50 



OFFICIAL DIRECTORY AND 



[vol. I. 



December 3, 1789, also made a ces- 
sion of laud ou the west bank of 
that river for tlie same i)iirpose. 

These cessions were accepted by- 
Congress, and on the 16th of July, 
1790, au act was passed establishiug 
the temporary and permanent seat 
of the government of the United 
States. 

Upon the lands thus ceded by the 
States of Maryland and Yirginia, 
and accepted by Congress, a district 
of ten miles square was located ; 
the lines and boundaries of which 
having been established by a proc- 
lamation of George WasbiDgton, 
President of the United States, is- 
sued on the 30th of March, 1791, 
Congress, by "An Act couceruing 
the District of Columbia," approved 
February 17, 1801, assumed com- 
plete jurisdiction over the said Dis- 
trict. 

On the 3d of February, 1846, the 
legislature of Virginia passed an 
act accepting, by the State of Vir- 
ginia, the county of Alexandria, in 
the District of Columbia, when the 
same shall be receded by the Con- 
gress of the United States ; and on 
the 9th of July, 1846, an act of 
Congress passed to retrocede the 
county of Alexandria, in the Dis- 
trict of Columbia, to the State of 
Virginia. 



So that the portion of the District 
located upon the land ceded by Vir- 
ginia, having been retroced<ed to 
that State, the District of Columbia 
has been, since the act of retroces- 
sion, embraced within the county 
of Washington, which includes the 
cities of Washington and George- 
town. 

The municipal government of the 
District, since the retrocession of 
the county of Alexandria to the 
State of Virginia, has rested upon 
charters granted from time to time 
by Cougress to the cities of Wash- 
ington and Georgetown ; these con- 
tinued in force until the first day of 
June, 1871, when they were rex)ealed 
by an act to provide a government 
for the District of Columbia, ap- 
proved February 21, 1871. This act 
establishes for the District of Co- 
lumbia a territorial form of govern- 
ment, consistiug of a governor and 
certain other officers api^ointed by 
the President, with the advice and 
consent of the Senate, and a dele- 
gate in Congress, and other munici- 
j)al officers elected bv the people. 

The population in 1870, 131,700. 
Area, about 60 square miles. 

In 1876 the territorial form of 
government v/as abolished, and the 
temporary government of the Dis- 
trict provided for by commissioners. 



Population cf the United States, 
According to the Census of 1840, 1850, 1860, and 1870.

writing, and an author may add to

simple mark may he made to call 
attention to an article in printed

opes or newspaper v/rai)pers are not

tied that it has not been used, it 
will bo redeemed in stamps. 

Printed matter, merchandise, and 
other third-class matter will not be

jects the matter to letter postage. 

To enclose any written matter in 
printed nuitter subjects the person

the package pays letter postage on

ing fifteen df)llars, ten cents ; from 
fifteen to tliirty doUars, fifteen

cents ; from forty to iifty, twenty- 
five cents. Money ord(;rs are con- 
sidered ])erfectly safi;, and are

Ho must be able to say from whom 
and from where the order counts. 
The payee of an order iliay n^cpicst 
payment to be made to another 



person, but only one such indorse-

same, or there is but one route. To 
Australia (except New South Wales 
and Queensland, to wliicli by same 
mail tlie rates are, letters twelve 
cents, papers two cents), letters 
five, fifteen, and nineteen cents, pa- 
pers two, four, and six cents ; Hong 
Kong, Canton, Swallow, Amoy, and 
Foocliow, letters ten cents, papers 
four cents; other parts of Clnna, 
letters five, fifteen, and nineteen 
cents, papers two, four, and six 
cents; Japan, letters five, twenty- 
seven, and thirty-one cents, papers 
two, four, and six cents ; India, let- 
ters ten cents, papers four cents ; 
Siam, letters ten, twenty-seven, and 
thirty-one cents, papers two, six, 
and eight cents ; Sandwich Islands, 
letters six cents, papers one cent for 
each two ounces. 

The maximum weight of a foreign 
postal packet is, for patterns of mer- 
chandise, eight and three -fourths 
ounces; for other articles, except 
letters, two pounds and three ounces. 
Foreign postal packets must con- 
tain no article subject to customs 
duties, and no gold or silver coin. 

Prepay all postage, not only be- 
cause in some cases the package will 
not be forwarded unless prepaid, 
but because it is a shabby thing to 
require a correspondent to pay your 
postage. Write the address very 
plainly and. fully. Be sure you give 
the name of the post-office, and un- 



less the place is a large city, give 
the county. In writing a letter, al- 
ways begin as you wish the an- 
swer du'ected, and sign your full 
name. If people only knew how 
much trouble and loss would be 
saved by following these directions, 
they would do it, we feel sure. Re- 
member there are many post-ofi&ces 
of the same name, therefore always 
give the State. Put the stamp on 
the right-hand upper corner, and be 
sure that it adheres firmly. 

The fees for money orders on 
Great Britain and Ireland and Swit- 
zerland are as follows: Not over 
ten dollars, twenty-five cents ; from 
ten to twenty dollars, fifty cents; 
from twenty to thirty dollars, sev- 
enty-five cents ; from thiriiy to forty 
dollars, one dollar; from forty to 
fifty dollars, one dollar and twenty- 
five cents. On Germany, not over 
five dollars, fifteen cents ; all others 
as above. 

Note. — These are the rates for 
letter packets not exceeding one- 
half ounce, and in most cases for 
each newspaper not weighing over 
four ounces; the same rate being 
added for each additional four 
ounces where the weight is more, 
and for each paper where it is less. 
Where there are several routes with 
different rates, the one paid for 
should be x^laced in the left-hand 
upper corner of the packet.

subjects of agricultural interest. 
The members, who bare no com- 
pensation, have given nearly one 
thousand lectures, and the Secre- 
tary gives about one hundred a 
year. The Board has rooms in the 
State House, has collected a library 
of five hundred volumes, and has a 
museum containing many speci- 
mens of the rocks of the State, 
samples of grain, wool, wood, and 
nearly all the varieties of grasses 
grown in the State. A volume of 
agricultural matter, containing 
from five to six hundred pages, is 
published annually. These are ex- 
changed for samples of farm prod- 
ucts or other articles for the

The number of convicts in prison. 
May 1, 1877, was ICO, — 149 males 
and 11 females. The earnings and 
income of the prison were, during 
the year, $30,261.77. The expenses 
for the same period were $15,821.28. 
The various officers of the prison 
appear to have done their duty in a 
satisfactory manner. The health 
of the prisoners has not been so 
good as usual. The Legislature of 
1877 voted to build a new prison at 
an expense not to exceed $200,000 
in all, including grading, fencing, 
etc., and the contracts for the same 
are partially made. The price re- 
ceived by the State for convict la- 
bor is 46^ cents per day, if the 
number of men exceeds 100, other- 
wise it is 50.

Statement. The Maine Industrial 
School for Girls is designed as a 
refuge for girls between the ages of 
seven and fifteen years, who by 
force of circumstances or associa- 
tions are in manifest danger of be- 
coming outcasts of society. It is 
not a place of punishment, to which 
its inmates are sent as criminals by 
criminal process — but a home for 
ih6 friendless, neglected, and va- 
grant children of the State, where, 
under the genial influences of kind 
treatment, and physical and moral 
training, they may be won back to 
ways of virtue and respectability, 
and fitted for positions of honorable 
self-support, and lives of usefulness. 
The institution is a private corpora- 
tion, composed of the original cor- 
porators and associate subscribers. 
By them its affairs are committed 
to a Board of Managers. The State 
is represented on the Board by the 
Governor, Secretary of State, and 
Superintendent of Common Schools. 
It has provided by statute law for 
the custody and education of way- 
ward and exposed girls therein, and 
aids in their material support.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES 



PEINCIPAL OFFICIAL AND PROFESSIONAL MEN 



OF NEW ENGLAND. 

We shall continue to add to the following biographical notes until the 
list embraces all the principal ofificial and professional men of the New 
England States. The sketches are arranged in alphabetical order, and in 
order of editions, so that in looking for any particular sketch the reader will 
necessarily have to refer perhaps to each of the classes or editions. These 
sketches will be republished year after year, and will be dropped only on 
the death of parties represented. It may take some time before the list 
is complete, and considerably increase the size of the volume, but the 
price will not be increased. 

There maybe some people who will fail to see the value of these sketches, 
but their numbers will be few and only such as see value in nothing ex- 
cept for its present use. To appreciate the real value of these sketches, it 
is only necessary to suppose the list to be complete ; that is, to embrace 
biographical notes of all official and professional men in New England, 
and that such a list has been published for the last fifty or one hundred 
years. This idea reveals the practicability of our scheme. Fifty years 
from the i^resent time, if this list is made complete, and so continued and 
corrected each year, it will be invaluable, furnishing a magnificent bio- 
graphical treasury of all New England. Such are our aims with regard 
to this department, and we invite and solicit the co-operation of all con- 
cerned, that we may be able to carry out the plan successfully. 

We publish in this edition such sketches as we have been enabled to 
obtain in the short time which has elapsed since the work was begun. A 
few have been sent in which were too imperfect or incomplete for publi- 
cation. However, the work is stereotyped and editions of each annual 
volume will be published quarterly, with additions in this department, 
and corrections in the directory matter preceding it. This will be con- 
tinued until we have completed the list, and perpetually thereafter, with 
corrections and additions from time to time as deaths and additions in 
and to the list occur. We shall be glad to receive new sketches (and 
corrections of those in the work if found incorrect) from time to time.

the Fisheries, to be one of the most 
valuable legislative documents ever 
made on the subjects therein con- 
sidered. Mr. Brinley has been a

zine," and other periodicals. He is

ing is taught and good morals in- 
culcated, in that direction, was ob- 
tained in the public schools of his 
native place, and at Great Barring- 
ton, Mass., to which town he re- 
moved in 18.38. Later in life he 
studied and was for several years a 
professional teacher of vocal music. 
In 1863 and '64 he made the study 
of dentistry a business, attending 
lectures in New York Hospital and 
College of Dentistry, and in July 
of the latter year commenced prac- 
tice. Since 1848 he has resided in 
the town of Adams, Mass., where 
he is now practising his profession. 
In former times he was anti-slavery 
in politics, but has been a republi- 
can since the organization of that 
party. 

Blaisdell, Joshua S. Age, 57. 
Democrat. Mr. Blaisdell was born 
in the town of Rochester, N. H., 
Dec. 4, 1820. Where a man picks 
up knowledge for himself, beyond 
the office of the schools, we some- 
times say he is self-educated, and 
possibly Mr. Blaisdell would not 
feel ashamed to count himself in 
that category. At any rate, he com- 
menced business in Wentworth, N. 
H., in 1842, and fifteeen years later 
removed to Woonsocket, R. I., 
where, as a sample of stability and 
perseverance, he still continues in 
the same business. He is one of the 
trustees of the Woonsocket Institu- 
tion of Savings ; a director in the 
Woonsocket National Bank ; presi- 
dent of the Bailey Wringer Co., and 
a member of the general assembly. 
He is treasurer of the Union Wors- 
ted Co., and has held the office for 
several years. As a Mason, he is 
not only a member of the blue 
lodge, but also of the chapter, 
council and commandery. P. O., 
Woonsocket, R. I.

continent, and particularly at Vi- 
enna, Austria, and returning to the

with his father, Stephen Barton, to 
North Carolina in 1856, and en- 
gaged in the lumber business, where 
he remained till 1861, when he en- 
listed in the regular army of the 
United States, at Washington, D. 
C, serving till honorably discharg-

Co., of Worcester, Mass., and still 
holds that office.

engaged as teacher of the school in 
the centre district. In 1841 he took 
charge of the Oak Street school, in 
the same city, and has continued in 
the discharge of his duties as princi- 
pal ever since. He has led a quiet 
but useful life, and in the faithful 
discharge of his daily duties has 
probably done the State as much 
service as he possibly could have 
conferred on her in her legislative 
halls, or as a member of her great

Religiously he is Orthodox, — which 
reminds us of the Rev. Dr. Tal- 
mage's Brooklyn, N. Y., letter to the 
maker of Bradbury's pianos. Said 
the Doctor, " you're a good Metho- 
dist, but your pianos are orthodox, 
always ready for morning prayers or

skilfully and successfully that it is

ing-house in the State, and among 
the largest iu the New England 
States. By tbe way, our old school- 
mate, the Hon. William M. Evarts, 
knows how to write a much longer

much more involved ; but even the 
bon. secretary of state of the United 
States may not know that the pres- 
ent style of the firm we are speaking 
of is J. B. Barnaby & Co., the Co. 
being Mr. H. B. Winship, a former

struction at this college is similar 
to that recently adoj)ted at Har- 
vard; viz., a graded course of four 
years, each year consisting of two 
sessions, one of six months and the 
other of three months, and exami- 
nations required at the close of

field, Mass., and was born there on 
the 12th of X'ovember, 1828. He 
went into business in Chicopee,

is a native of South Deerfield. Mass., 
and was bom Sept. 17, 1822. He 
moved, when quite young, with the

scenes and pursuits, common to any 
quiet country village, were the 
chief educating forces of his life. 
He was in business about thirty 
years, and in the fall of 1872 was 
sent as representative to the State

legislature. In 1877 ho was elected 
mayor of the city of Holyoke. He 
built the Bemis paper mill iu 18G4, 
aud as ageut and treasurer, had the 
entire charge of its interests till 1370. 
While in the legislature he procured 
a charter for the Holyoke Mechan- 
ics' Savings Bank, of which institu- 
tion he is now vice-president. 

Combs, Simon E. Age, 52. Mr. 
Combs is a native of Holdeu, Mass., 
and was born iu the year 1826. He 
was probably not a great deal bet- 
ter, nor very much worse, than any 
other of the good boys who were 
his schoolmates in their native 
town ; but when they left school 
and went to learn a trade, he pre- 
ferred that of a blacksmith, and he 
did learn it well, and followed it 
for twenty-four years. He lived in 
New York city for a year, and for 
some time in Attleborough, Mass., 
but went to Worcester, Mass., in 
1848, and worked at his trade till 
1872, when, having previously filled 
almost every inferior office iu the 
fire department, he was elected 
chief-engineer, and now holds that 
position. He was a member of the 
board of engineers seven years be- 
fore he was elected chief, and was a 
member of the city council from 
ward 1, in 1870-71. Through his 
efforts the Worcester fire depart- 
ment has been greatly improved. 
Beds and bath-rooms are now in 
every house, and a number of in- 
fluential and leading citizens occupy 
positions of trust and offices in con- 
nection with that deijartment of 
the city government. 

CiLLEY, Prof. Bradbury L. 
Age, 39. Prof. Cilley is a native of 
Nottingham, N. H., where he was 
bom, Sept. 6, 1838. He was edu- 
cated at Phillips Academy and at 
Harvard College, graduating from 
the latter in the class of 1858. Im- 
mediately following his graduation 
he became a teacher in the academy 
at Albany, N. Y., remaining there 
a year only, being elected at that 
time to the professorship of ancient 
languages in Phillips Academy, Ex- 
eter, N. H., which chair he has 



since creditably and satisfactorily 
filled. 

Cone, C. B. Age, 37. Instructor 
in Physical Culture. Mr. Cone, 
whose specialty in the Springfield 
(Mass.) Collegiate Institute is above 
noted, was born in Dalton, Mass., 
in the year 1841. Pie entered the 
United States service during the 
war, in 1862, as a x^rivate in the 10th 
Mass. infantry, and becoming dis- 
abled, he was honorably discharged 
in December, 1863 ; and the follow- 
ing year began studying medicine 
iu connection with the peculiar sys- 
tem of physical culture adopted by 
the late Dr. Windship of Boston. 
Under his mode of treatment and 
iustruction Mr. Cone continued 
three years, and was afterwards as- 
sociated with Dr. Windship, prac- 
tising his system of treatment as a 
profession in different sections of 
the State of Massachusetts. The 
death of Dr. W. is now generally 
well-known ; but his graduated sys- 
tem of physical culture, as applied 
aud illustrated by Dr. Cone, was 
opened as a si)ecial department of 
the Springfield Institute, Sept. 11, 
1876. It is not the aim of the in- 
stitution to develop a few mascu- 
line i)rodigies, whose mission may 
be to astonish people by feats of 
strength and agility, but to call 
into daily action every part of the 
muscular system to such an extent 
as to insure its healthy condition. 
Of course it is much better to assist 
nature in resuming her normal 
functions and making health pos- 
sible, than to throw away money 
upon x^atent medicines and quack 
doctors. Our impression is that the 
Windshix) system is about as good 
as any yet invented, and that Prof. 
Cone is one of its very best ex- 
ponents. 

Carleton, Charles G., M. D. 
Age, 33. Physician and Surgeon. 
Dr. Charles G., son of Samuel Carle- 
ton, of Haverhill, Mass., was born 
Nov. 1, 1844. His preference for 
the profession of medicine was de- 
veloped early in life, and his studies 
all aimed in that direction. After

tary of the board of trustees of Am- 
herst Academy, and has more than 
once represented his town in the 
general court. P. 0., Amherst, 
Mass. 

Cook Rev. Joseph. Age, 40. 
Lecturer. The Rev. Joseph Cook, 
of the famous Monday lectureship, 
by some regarded as the concentra- 
tion of all culture, — and Boston 
culture at that, — was born at Ti- 
conderoga, N. Y., Jan. 26, 1838. Grad- 
uating from Phillips Academy in 

1857, he entered Yale College in 

1858, remaining there two years. 



Interrupted in his studies three 
years by illness, he afterwards en- 
tered Harvard University, in 1863, 
leaving its classic shades with a 
diploma, in 1865. The same year 
he entered Audover Theological 
Seminary, graduating thence in 
1868. He was afterwords a fourth 
year at Andover, under Prof. Park ; 
then " spoke" from place to place in 
New England, until 1870, and was 
a year acting pastor of the First 
Congregational Church, in Lynn, 
Mass. In September, 1871, he went 
to Europe ; travelled in England, 
Scotland, France and Germany, and 
studied at Halle, Berlin and Heidel- 
berg universities. In January, 1873, 
he went to Italy, and x>assed the 
winter chiefly at Florence, Rome, 
and Naples. In the spring and 
summer of 1873 he was in Egypt, 
Syria, and Greece. He returned to 
Vienna, through Turkey, and was 
again a considerable period in Eng- 
land, reaching the United States in 
November, the same year. He com- 
menced to lecture in Boston, Jan- 
uary, 1874, and in the autumn of 
1875 the Boston Monday noon lec- 
tures were commenced in the Mei- 
onaon. In connection Avith these 
he was also lecturing at Mt. Holyoke 
Female Seminary, Amherst College, 
Yale, and theological seminaries 
elsewhere in New England. In 
October, 1876, the size of the audi- 
ences crowded out the Monday lec- 
tures into Park Street Church, and 
from there into Tremont Temple. 
The lectures were, and are at jires- 
ent, reported in full in the " Boston 
Daily Advertiser," the "New York 
Independent," the " Cincinnati Ga- 
zette," and other prominent papers. 
Large editions have been published 
in London ; Messrs. Houghton, Os- 
good & Co. of Boston and New 
York, have issued three volumes 
under the titles of "Biology," 
" Transcendentalism " and " Ortho- 
doxy." Other courses of .lectures 
have been given on " Conscience," 
"Heredity" and "Marriage." The 
work on Biology has passed through 
fourteen editions; that on Trans-

cendentalism is in its tenth edition. 
The objective point of Mr. Cook's 
lecturing is to discuss the relations 
of Religion and Science. Some five 
hundred educated and professional 
men are among the audiences, 
which, for two years, have been so 
large as often to overflow Tremont 
Temple on the busiest hour and day 
of the week. Mr. Cook' lectures in 
Boston about one-third of the year, 
makes a lecturing tour for another 
third, and lives at Lake George and 
engages in authorship the remain- 
ing x>ortion of the year. No one 
can safely say of him, what is so 
often said of ordinary men, " his 
early education was neglected." 

Clauk, Peter Hobart. Age, 61. 
Republican. Mr. Clark, or rather, 
Peter Hobart Clark, a name well- 
known to almost every traveller in 
New Hampshire, was born in the 
town of New Ipswich, Hillsborough 
County, N. H., Dec. 11, 1816. When 
quite a lad he was a clerk in Con- 
cord, Lowell, and Boston, Mass., 
and in youth had the reputation of 
being an expert performer on vari- 
ous musical instruments. He had 
paid considerable attention to the 
study of music ; was really an ac- 
complished musician, and taught 
vocal and instrumental music for 
many years with success. His ser- 
vices were sought for on great pub- 
lic occasions in all the country 
round. Arbuckle had not then 
soared above the horizon of popular 
fame, nor had Gilmore even dreamed 
of peace jubilees and Paris exposi- 
tions; but the name of Hobart 
Clark was whisi)ered with bated 
breath, in connection with Bartlett's 
bugle in the old " Brigade ; " with 
Ned Kendall's solo in ^' Wood Up," 
and with Willis' dashing leadership 
of the old West Point band. In one 
thing he could excel them all. He 
could " keep a hotel." He knew it, 
and — he did it. So he relinquished 
his professiou, purchased the hotel 
in New Ipswich, now known in 
travellers' guide-books as " Clark's 
Hotel," and managed it, as it should 
be, thirteen years, being successful 



pecuniarily, and otherwise, as his 
many guests and summer boarders 
can testify. Mr. Clark has held 
various town offices. He had pre- 
viously been a justice of the peace, 
and for ten years deputy sheriff for 
Hillsborough County ; and in 1878, 
having sold his interest in the 
hotel, he was chosen to represent 
iiis town in the State legislature. 
Having done well, he has now re- 
tired from hotel-keeping. He is in 
good health, having scarcely ever 
seen a sick day; and he never in 
his life was under the care of a phy- 
sician. As already stated, Mr. Clark 
is, in politics, a republican; his re- 
ligion is to " owe no man anything," 
and to "do unto others as you 
would that others should do unto 
you." 

Coney, Herbert M. Age, 34. 
RexDublican. Lawyer. Mr. Coney 
was born in the town of Ware, 
Hampshire County, Mass., on the 
18th of March, 1844. He received 
his education in tlie common and 
high schools of his neighborhood; 
served three years during the war 
in the army, was honorably dis- 
charged, and returning to Ware, 
was for some time engaged in busi- 
ness; filling satisfactorily, at the 
same time, various positions in 
town offices. He is a member of 
the Hampden County bar, and went 
to Springfield, Mass., in 1875, where 
he now has an office in the Five 
Cent Savings Bank Block. 

Cook, Hon. Lyman Arnold. 
Age, 72. Republican. Manufact 
urer. Mr. Cook was born in Cum- 
berland, R. I., Dec. 15, 1805. He 
never went to college ; never 
studied law, medicine, nor theology; 
yet, at an age when most men are 
retired, we find him to-day the 
presiding head of a sewing-machine 
company, a horse-nail manufactur- 
ing company, the great Woonsocket 
Rubber Company, the Pawtucket 
Hair-cloth Company, president of 
the Woonsocket National Bank, and 
in several other branches of busi- 
ness. He commenced building ma- 
chinery in 1828 and continued in 



1878-9.]

Cakr, George A. Age, 49. Demo- 
crat. Mr. Carr is a well-known 
railroad and express agent, who 
has faithfully discharged all the 
duties of his ofQce for a number of 
years, during which time his al- 
ways courteous demeanor and strict 
attention to business have gained 
him many friends and made him a 
favorite with all patrons of the 
companies for which he acts. His 
home, when he happens to be there, 
is at Haverhill, N. H. 

Clarke, Eev. George H. Age, 
27. Republican. Clergyman. The 
Rev. Mr. Clark is a native of Mil- 
ford, Mass., where he was born 
Oct. 29, 1850. After leaving the 
Milford High School he studied at 
Wesleyan Academy, Wifbraham, 
Mass., graduating in 1873 ; and at

Mr. Clark is now a Methodist 
preacher stationed by the New 
England Conference at Maplewood, 
Mass. 

Cook, Horace. Age, 56. Re- 
publican. Manufacturer. Mr. Cook 
was born in Cumberland, R. I., 
Nov. 16, 1821 ; received a common- 
school education and was brought 
up on a farm till twenty-one years 
of age. Twenty-one seems to have 
been his lucky number. He was 
born in '21, worked on a farm till 
twenty-one, and was twenty-one 
years in one particular business in 
vVoonsocket. Ten years ago he 
commenced to manufacture worsted 
braids, and has been in the busi- 
ness ever since. He has been on 
the board of assessors for the last 
nine years, a commissioner of the 
sinking fund and a member of the 
legislature, and now holds various 
offices, such as director Woonsocket 
Gas Company, trustee of the Peo- 
ple's Savings Bank, and director of

the First National Bank. P. O., 
Woonsocket, R. I. 
• Gushing, George S. Age, 52. 
Republican. Manufacturer. Mr. 
Gushing was born in Stanstead, 
P. Q., June 6, 1825. After leaving 
schoo 1 he worked at farming till 
the age of twenty-one, when he 
began manufacturing, continuing 
in the same till the x^resent time. 
He went to Lowell in 1856, and to 
Manchester, England, in 1869, after- 
wards selling out his business and 
returning to Lowell, where, in Octo- 
ber, 1877, he formed a partnership 
under the style of the " Lowell 
Elastic Web Company," which has 
met with very good success. To 
fill the vacancy caused by the death 
of Councilman Spaulding, of Low- 
ell, he was elected in his place, and 
re-elected in 1877, a position which 
he now holds. P. O., Lowell, 
Mass. 

Davis, Phixeas E. Age, 63. 
Deputy Sheriff", Haverhill, Mass., 
Sheriff Davis is a native of Chester 
(now Auburn), N. ±1. He was po- 
lice inspector under the town gov- 
ernment ten years, overseer of the 
poor several successive years, and 
constable twenty years. He was 
appointed deputy sheriff in 1855, 
and held the office till his removal 
to Vermont in 1870. On returning 
to Haverhill, in 1872, he was agaih 
appointed deputy sheriff. In early 
life he was a mechanic, but, possess- 
ing much natural adaptation for 
the discharge of official duties con- 
nected witli the offices he has occu- 
pied, he naturally gravitated to the 
position he has filled through a 
succession of years. 

Dixon, Nathan P., Jr., Esq. Age,

mon district schools. By improv- 
ing his time, however, in studying at 
home, he soon became qualified to 
teach, and afterwards devoted years 
of his life to that calling. He was

"Spencerian, No. 12," — and with- 
out the aid of glasses, within the 
compass of one-fourteenth of an inch, 
having sent such a piece to the 
centennial. Mr. Eastman is a well- 
informed, hale, and hearty gentle- 
man, and attributes the preserva- 
tion of sight and nerve, as well as 
health, to his total abstinence prin- 
ciples, — having signed the first 
temperance pledge Rev. Dr. Beecher, 
father of Henry Ward Beecher, 
presented to the people of his sec- 
tion in 1824. Mr. Eastman has kept 
that pledge to the present time.

His advantages for early education 
were no more than ordinary, and 
Ms tastes and habits of life led him 
to'prefer the occupation of a farmer. 
He is one of those young and active

l)roved the neighboring flats for 
agricultural purposes ; and, at a 
subsequent State fair, he received 
eighteen out of twenty premiums 
for crops raised under this system 
of land imx)rovement. The effect 
was to largely enhance the value 
of land in that locality, and about 
that time he was elected su]3ervisor 
of the town of Lake, Cook County, 
by a voting pox)ulation of four hun- 
dred and fifty. From there he re-

insurance companies, one of which, 
— the Imperial and Northern Com- 
pany of England, — figures it assets 
at about twenty- three millions of 
of dollars. It would seem at the 
first blush as though insurance in 
such an office were, at least, a safe 
investment. P. O., W^orcester,

ferrecl to Washington, D. C, in 
1864, and appointed judge-advocate, 
■which position he held till the close 
of the service. When the city of 
Washington was threatened by the 
rebel raid under Gen. Breckenridge, 
Maj. Farr x'^'oceeded to that city, 
organized a regiment composed of 
all who could bear arms, and occu- 
pied a position between Forts Reno

cord, N. H., and at once entered the 
law office of his father, John Farr, 
a distinguished lawyer of that 
State; was admitted to the bar in 
July, 1867, and has continued, with 
remarkable success, to practise law 
to the ]>resent time, — the firm-name 
being now Farr & Stevens. In 
1874, Major Farr was api:>ointed 
county solicitor, and in 1876 was 
re-appointed to the same office, 
which he now holds. The same 
year he was elected a member of 
the governor's council. He has 
been for years a member of the Ee- 
public state central committee, and 
is the recognized leader of the re- 
publican -paxtj in Northern New 
Hampshire. It may not be amiss 
to state that Major Farr is also an 
honored member of the masonic 
fraternity. 

Feadd, Horatio. Age, 47. Ee-

native of Cornwall, England, and 
was born there in the year 1831. 
He was a mere lad when he came 
to this country, afterwards learn- 
ing his trade in a brass-foundry in 
Boston, Mass. When of age, he re- 
moved to Manchester, KH., and 
commenced life for himself. Al- 
though engaged in active business 
in ward 8 in that city, he still 
serves the xiublic as foreman of 
steam fire company. No. 3. He has 
been honored with several town 
offices, including that of overseer 
of the poor and city assessor. In 
1874 he was elected to the State 
legislature, and is 1875 re-elected to 
the same office. In March, 1878, he

and re-elected in 1868 for three 
years more, but resigned after 
serving a few months. In 1876 he 
was elected a member to revise the 
constitution of New Hampshire. 
Mr. Farr has never been an office- 
seeker, but is rather retiring than 
otherwise. He takes a deep inter- 
est in all educational matters, and 
in everything tending to benefit his 
town ; and his intelligence, business 
ability, and probity, are recognized 
by the entire community. He is 
president of the Littleton National 
Bank, and of the Savings Bank in 
the same town ; and their invest- 
ments are so judiciously placed that 
panics and "runs" are x>owerless' 
to injure them. At x^resent Judge 
Farr is justice of the j^olice court at 
Littleton, N. H.

Conn., March 15, 1824. He can 
doctor a sick man, repair a watch, 
or make any kind of machinery ; in 
fact, never gives up, and like Dick- 
ens' famous hero, will " never say 
die" to any kind of mechanical 
work. He made Fenn's matches in 
Connecticut from 1848 to 1873, and 
got the title of the old head-devil 
matchmaker of Connecticut ! He

ocrat. Postmaster. The first time 
Mr. Foster held the office of post- 
master was in the year 1858 in 
Eumuey, N. H., and he i^erformed 
all its duties for' five years. A 
change of administration resulted 
in a change of postmasters, on the 
principle of the old Jacksonian 
motto, '' to the victors belong the 
spoils" ; but President Pierce again 
re-appointed him to Bath, N. H., 
and he held the office three years. 
President Buchanan -'re-appointed 
him postmaster, when he continued 
in the office four years more ; was

Hampshire, which Daniel Webster, 
or somebody else, once said was " a 
very good State to emigrate from," 
and was born in the town of Bristol 
in 1846. He is represented as a 
genial gentleman, and a i^ublic- 
spirited citizen ; with no lack of 
efficiency, integrity, and ability. 
These qualities, it would seem, 
should be sufficient to make any 
man's fortune, political, pecuniary, 
or otherwise ; and our friend Fel- 
lows seems to be on the highway to 
success. He is an energetic worker 
in the republican party, and is also

during its existence, as well as for 
several years after it became a na- 
tional institution ; and the above- 
named banks, under Mr. Fair- 
brother's uubroken presidency of 
twenty years, were eminently pros- 
perous. 

Fitzgerald, Ai. Age, 49. Dem- 
ocrat. Sash, door, and blind manu- 
facturer. Mr. Fitzgerald is a native 
of Littleton, N. H., and was born 
there Jan. 22, 1829. He is what we 
call a self-made man, having been 
at a very early age thrown upon 
the world to struggle for himself. 
He was economical, honest, and 
temperate ; had a small opinion of 
Congressman Banks' " eight hours a 
day," Charlestown navy-yard ar- 
rangement ; i. e., if he thought any 
thing at all about it ! but worked 
hard every day from twelve to 
seventeen hours, succeeded in ac- 
quiring a first-class business educa- 
tion ; and, best of all, in accumu- 
lating a fortune sufficient to j)lace 
him in comfortable circumstances 
for the rest of his life. Mr. Fitz- 
gerald was elected to represent his 
town in the State legislature in 
ISll, and re-elected in 1878 by an

tled at Grand Rapids, Mich., six 
years. His war record as the fear- 
less chaplain of that well-known 
fighting 6th Michigan Cavalry Bri- 
gade is remarkable, and can barely 
be sketched. In camp and field he 
stuck (sic) to his men in all their 
X)erils. The brigade was never 
separated from first taking the 
field ; and under such generals as 
Kilpatrick and Custer they always 
moved in the thickest of tlie fight, 
knowing neither " fail" nor " fear" 
in the most memorable battles on 
the soil of Virginia ; and they were 
on the field wheu Lee surrendered 
at Appomattox. On their march 
from the field of victory to the 
grand review in Washington, the 
sad intelligence reached the camps 
of the assassination of President 
Lincoln ; and near Petersburg our 
chaplain x^ronounced the oration. 
The regiment was discharged in 
Jackson ; before scattering to their 
homes, on the Sabbath, in presence 
of Gov. Blair and many citizens, 
the chaplain held his last religious 
service with his brave "fighting 
parish." He had been with them 
three years. They had left hosts of 
comrades in Southern graves, mown 
down in battle or perished by dis- 
ease ; and, at the muster out, none 
were left of the original staff but 
the surgeon and the chaplain ! He 
was afterwards settled over the 
Congregational Church in Oswego 
eight years, when he broke down 
in health and was obliged to retire 
from all public labor. P. O., Pitts-

of the first quality, in two of which 
are represented four evangelists. 
Five others contain representations 
of the Virgin Mary, St. Augustine,

in his native town, where he fol- 
lowed the business for twenty years 
more. He was an abolitionist and 
free-soiler from the start ; but at 
present, is independent of party re-

were always good in that town; 
and, of course, he attended them 
and obtained a good education. 
He went to learn the machinist's 
trade in 1840, and he must have 
learned it well ; else the good peo-

He had the singular experience of 
having two appointments made

inal commission just as it AT as offi- 
cially prepared for him, and filed 
away fori)olitical capital in the "new 
departure," with the endorsement, 
" hold up." He was connected with 
the press for many years before the 
war, during its continuance, and 
since its close. In the Fremont 
and Lincoln campaigns ho was a 
leading writer for the Haverhill

journal a pronounced free-soil and 
republican tone, and was at the 
same time and afterwards, for many 
years, u])on the corresponding staff 
of the Boston " Traveller," as the 
local representative of that journal 
when the transmission of news was

Johnson, Alfred. Lifting Cure 
Establishment, Springfield, Mass. 
Mr. Johnson maintains that cumu- 
lative exercise, sometimes called 
the lifting cure, while improving 
tlje health, will double the actual 
strength in three months ; that it 



occui)ies only ten minutes, once a 
day, and furnishes a safer and more 
valuable mode of physical training 
than the gymnasium. It is adapted 
alike to ladies and gentlemen ; re- 
quiring no change of dress ; does 
not fatigue nor exhaust, but by 
equalizing and improving tlie cir- 
culation of the blood, refreshes and 
invigorates ; and, 'finally, is daily 
recommended by leading physicians 
to those suffering from want of tone 
and vigor, or from dyspepsia and 
other forms of indigestion ; or from 
various diseases of the nervous sys- 
tem ; or from the class of ailments 
caused by torpor or congestion of 
the liver. Personally, we find the 
daily habit of walking, splitting 
our own wood, and blacking our 
own boots, an amount of exercise 
sufficiently cumulative ! But to all 
who ignore such privileges, we 
commend tlie lifting cure. That 
physicians a^^prove it as a simple 
means of j)reventing diseases aris- 
ing from sedentary habits is, prob- 
ably, what Josh Billings would call, 
its " best liolt."

Keyes, Jonathans" F. Age, 66. 
Democrat. Mr. Keyes is a son of 
the ''good old Granite State," and 
was born in the town of Hancock, 
Hillsborough County, in the year 
1812. He took his chances in the 
winter district schools, with the 
rest of the boys, and when seven- 
teen years of age apx^renticed him- 
self to a paper-manufacturer. In 
1845 he went into business for him- 
self, continuing in the same till 
1670. He has served his townsmen 
as highway-surveyor, school com- 
mittee, and selectman. He was 
never an office-seeker, and never de- 
clined his share of the public bur- 
den, when forced upon him ; but, 
on the whole, we think he rather 
preferred to attend to his own af- 
fairs. In 184S, he removed to Ash- 
laud, K. H., vrhere he has since re- 
sided. In 1870 he became interested 
in banking, and has attended to 
that business ever since. He was

joresent is treasurer of the Ashland 
Savings Bank, and president and 
manager of the private banking- 
house of J. F. Keyes & Co., Ash- 
laud, Grafton County, N. H. 

Kimball, George A. Age, 50. 
Druggist and Pharmacist. If we 
were to take Shakspeare's masterly 
description of an a^^othecary shop, 
carry it to IMr. Kimball, and should 
say to him, as Claude Melnotte said 
in the " Lady of Lyons," to Pauline, 
" Dost thou like the picture ? " we 
fancy he would turn away in dis- 
gust^ and ask us to view his elegant 
surroundings of cut and x)late glass, 
and marble ; and possibly he would 
propound to ns in reply, Claude's 
veritable question ! At the age of 
twenty-one years he commenced 
business for himself on Main Street, 
Haverhill, Mass., — a better place, 
in his opinion, than the city of Bos- 



ton, where he was born, April 13, 
1828, and brought up in the ancient 
Washington Street drug-house of 
Brewers, Stevens & Gushing. He 
subsequently removed to Merrimack 
Street, where he still continues in 
business, notwithstanding he has 
amassed a handsome property. The 
distinguishing features of his es- 
tablishment, are promptness and 
accuracy, — two points of para- 
mount importance in his special 
vocation. The financial success of 
the proprietor we attribute to his 
close and continued apiilication to 
business, and to his directness of 
aim. P. O., Haverhill, Mass. 

Knowles, Rev. Dajs^iel Claeke. 
Age, 42. Clergyman. The Rev. Mr.

afterward he was engaged in teach- 
ing, in Poultney, Vt., and later in 
Pittsburg, Pa. In 1881 he enlisted 
in the 48th regiment N. Y. vols., 
raised a company, was commissioned 
captain, and served in South Caro- 
lina till ill-health compelled his 
resigriation. He took x)art in an 
engagement at Port Royal, and was 
present at the reduction of Fort 
Pulaski. Resuming his literary vo- 
cation, he became the x>rincij)al of 
the New Jersey Conference Semi- 
nary, Pennington, N. J., from 1863 
to 1867, when he entered the minis- 
try, was transferred to the New 
Hampshire M. E. Conference, and 
stationed at the Haverhill Street 
Church, Lawrence, Mass., continu- 
ing through 1868 and 1869. From 
there he was transferred to St. 
Paul's Church, Lowell, Mass., in 
1870 and 1871, and thence to St. 
Paul's in Lynn, in 1872, '73, and '74. 
His nest station was Maiden, in 
1875, '76, and '77 ; and in 1878 he 
was returned to the Haverhill 
Street Church, in Lawrence. Mr.

Morse, Eox. Elijah A., of Can- 
ton is a gentleman widely known 
as the proprietor and founder of 
tlie Eising Sun Stove Polish. He 
represented his town in the legis- 
lature in the Centennial year 
1876, and was the Prohibitory 
candidate for lieutenant-governor 
in. 1S77, and owing to his i^er- 
sonal i^opularity, ran over 800 
votes ahead of his ticket. We 
give, on next page, a superb cut, 
which will give our readers some 
idea of his manufactory at Canton. 
He is the son of Prof, and Eev. 
Abner Morse, a gentleman of cult- 
ure and learning, descended from 
an ancient and 
honorable ISTew 
England family, 
which first settled 
in Dedham in the 
person of Samuel 
Morse, in the vear 
1634. Mr. Morse 
received his edu- 
cation in various 
schools and acad- 
emies, among 
them the Boylston

the present enormous business con-

house, carrying his little stock in 
trade in a '^carpet bag hung upon 
his arm. The followiug statement, 
copied from the '' Canton Journal"

freigchts, Morse Bros, have just 
received orders for an unusually 
large amount of their celebrated 
'Eising Sun Stove Polish.' The 
sale of this day loaded four cars, 
and weighed 57,500 lbs., nearly 29 
tons. It consisted of 1,150 gross, 
and was contained in 2,270 cases. 
There were 165,000 single packages, 
and as they are four inches long, 
would reach (being placed in a line 
touching one another) nearly ten 
and one-half miles." 

We made a trij) to Canton on 
Thursday of last week, visiting, of 
course, the "Eising Sun Works," 
where we met ISIr. Morse, who 
showed *is around 
his place, enthusi- 
astically explain- 
ing the method 
and details of his 
business. As was 
well written by 
the editor of the 
''Franklin Eegis- 
ter":— 

"His place, in 
almost every i)art, 
shows the charac- 
ter of his business 
— the making of 
stove polish ; and 
' Eising Sun Stove 
Polish,' is seen 
freely painted on 
numbers of his 
buildings. Even 
the great Amer- 
ican flag, which 
is duly I'aised when the propri- 
etor is at home, bears the same 
or a similar legend. His grounds 
are laid out with care and a view 
to business, but they are not 
wanting in beauty. In front of 
his residence are two statues, 
highly gilded, and of life size, em- 
blematic of Spring and Autumn, — 
Spring with flowers, and Autumn

his present wooden buildings with 
more substantial ones of brick, his 
business warranting this chauge, 
as everything indicates that it will 
continue for many years as it is at

itable. 

Mr. Morse is a most active, stir- 
ring, enthusiastic business man. 
In person he is of pleasing pres- 
ence, and possesses a fine, open 
face.. We have been told that 
at one time, when the depression

made everything in business lines 
stagnant, he paid his help one- 
half wages, although tl^ey had 
nothing to do in the shops, and 
this for several weeks. This 
speaks well for him — for his be- 
nevolence and justice. He also 
learned the location of the grave 
of Col. Gridley, the patriot who 
engineered the fortifications at 
Bunker Hill, and afterwards took 
part in the memorable battle, 
and, with others, induced the 
town to remove the remains to 
the cemetery, and had a hand- 
some monu- 
ment erected 
over them. —

originated many processes adapted 
to differeut conditions ; and these, 
together with his peculiar formnhe, 
he cheerfully submits to all who 
seek and desire them. His archaeo- 
logical researches in Peru, as devel- 
oped by the camera, are pronounced 
perfect transcripts of those antique 
treasures. His treatises on " Pho-

Prevear, Edwaed. Age, 60. 
Born at Northampton, Mass., Sept. 
16, 1817 ; and educated at Amherst 
in the public schools and academy. 
He went as an apprentice to the 
watch, jewelry and optical business 
in Amherst in 1834, and commenced 
for himself in the same place in 
1840. The necessity of some simple 
method of ascertaining exact time, 
which is found only by the move- 
ments of the sun and stars, led him 
to construct a transit instrument 
for that purpose, for which he re- 
ceived letters-patent, in 1868. His 
principal business at the present 
time is the manufacture of these 
instruments, at Leominster, Mass., 
for the use of watchmakers and 
others requiring exact time. It was 
the study of astronomy for the pur- 
pose of computing time, under the 
guidance of i^rofessors at Amherst 
College, that led to his appoint- 
ment by Gov. Claflin as commis- 
sioner for establishing true meridian 
lines in each county of the State of 
Massachusetts, the object being to 
furnish a standard by which sur- 
veyors of land may know the 
variations of the needle (which is 
always changing) from a true north. 
Unquestionably these lines might 
prove of greait value to the land- 
holders of the coming generations, 
and save much litigation if the 
State would enforce its own law, in 
the matter of penalties for unfaith- 
ness on the part of surveyors. Mr. 
Prevear is at the ]^resent time State 
commissioner, etc. P. 0., Leomin-

found there, — from a surcingle to a 
feather duster; and why he failed 
to compete for variety with the

at the great exposition of the pres-

In attention to business, as well as

lege by no means cliecked Ms love 
for learning. When lie went to the 
fields or woods he took with him a 
book, gathering therefrom much 
useful knowledge ; and when, in 
vacation, his brother came home to 
the old farm, he recited to him 
what he had learned, thus continu- 
ing a course of study which was 
not available in the schools of the 
town. At the age of nineteen he 
began teaching, and at twenty-one 
he took charge of the high school 
in which the higher English 
branches and Latin were required 
to be taught. Here he studied 
medicine for a time with Dr. Bates,

married Miss Susie C Smith, the 
daughter of a Unitarian clergyman, 
and'settled down to teach, continu- 
ing eight years in this occupation, 
filling the offices of selectman, su- 
pervisor of schools, &c. During a 
revival interest, in which a large 
number of his scholars were con- 
verted, he became greatly interest- 
ed ; and being impressed with the 
duty of a higher mission, took the 
necessary steps and qualification 
for the Avork, and entered the min- 
istry, in which he has since been 
successfully engaged. Mr. Eice is 
now a member of the E. Maine 
Conference and elder in the Meth- 
odist Episcopal Church, stationed 
at Dover, Me. 

Eefoem Club, Geo. C. Coburx, 
President, Littleton, N. H. This 
club now numbers over a thousand 
members, and much of its efiiciency 
is due to Mr. Coburn, president of 
the club, who has done a great deal 
of good in establishing the pros- 
perity and popularity of the reform 
movement in Littleton. Mr. Co- 
burn enlisted as a private in Co. G, 
2d N. H. Vols. ; was detailed as di- 
vision wagon-train master under 
Gen. Hooker, and held that position 
during three years of service ; and 
when mustered out, he enlisted in 
the 1st N. H. Cavalry; was com- 
missioned lieutenant, and held that 
office till the close of the war. The 
club was organized in January, 



1876, and its first president was 
Josiah Kilburn. Its officers at "the 
present time are, Geo. C. Coburn, 
president ; J. A. Davis, secretary ; 
and Josiah Kilburn, treasurer. 
Owing to the character, standing, 
and earnestness of the officers of 
this club, their fidelity to the inter- 
ests of the order, and the Avisdom 
displayed in the management of its 
affairs, — procuring lecturers, and 
avoiding the sectarian and political 
shoals that haA^e wrecked so many 
institutions of this kind, the club 
has been a power for good, reclaim- 
ing hundreds of the fallen, and 
saA'ing many more from a similar 
sad fate.

rior advantages of education in 
early life, he was supplied with the 
basis upon which to build the struc- 
ture of a medical and professional 
education, which he did not fail to 
do. Pursuing the purpose of 
thoroughly qualifying himself for 
a medical ijractitioner, he graduated 
from Harvard Medical College in

59. Born upon Block Island. Aju-il 
26, 1519, the Hon. :Mr. Sheffield, 
fi-om the age of twenty-three to

positions of public trust and respon- 
sibility. During the rebellion, and 
up to the year 1573, he represented 
the island in the R. I. State le-gisla- 
ture, and co-operated vigorously 
with Hon. Xicholas Ball, his fellow- 
townsman, in securing a govern- 
ment harbor for the island. Having 
held nearly all of the town offices, 
and with health somewhat impaired 
by a life of constant activity, for 
tbe j)ast few years he has enjoyed 
the sweets of retirement at his 
beautiful home on one of the most 
sightly points of the island. Ac- 
cording to Livermore's Historv of 
Block "island, Mr. Sheffield's resi- 
dence was the ancient home of his 
grandfather, John Gorton, who, on 
account of his personal bearing, 
was called - Gov, Gorton,*' both by 
his townsmen and by the British 
soldiers of 1512. who, as a mark of 
respect, when they visited his house, 
stacked their arms at a considerable 
distance from his residence. In the 
construction of the breakwater of 
Block Island, Mr. Sheffield did a 
good work for the public and for 
his townsmen. His activity for the 
intellectual and moral improvement 
of the islanders has kept pace with 
his political and pecuniary enter- 



prises. The only official position 
now held by Mr. Sheffield is that of 
inspector of customs of U. S. at

dence ; and, by act of Congress, he

enterprise of this firm, — Messrs. R. 
H. and H. M. Smith, both thorough 
practical mechanics of long expe- 
rience. These gentlemen are con- 
stantly adding to their already 
large list of laT)or-saving devices 
for the use of the professional and 
"business public. Their stamps may 
be found in nearly every town in 
the United States, and fully one- 
third of their work is exported to

SouTHwicK, Pliny B. Age, 54. 
Prohibitionist and Eepublican. 
Coal, grain, and flour dealer. Mr. 
Southwick is too radical to have 
been born any where in the United 
States except the State of Massa- 
chusettsj and he was born there in 



the town of Berlin Sept. 7, 1823. 
In fact he is radical in everything, 
neutral in nothing. During the 
anti-slavery controversy he was a 
Garrisoniau abolitionist. He is a 
believer in a God of love, not of 
Avrath, and in a religion that makes 
men better. For thirteen years he 
was a member of the Hoxiedale 
Community at Milford, Mass., 
founded by Adin Ballon and others. 
He has been a justice of the peace, 
a member of the school committee, 
and a delegate of the Worcester 
County lodge of Good Templars. 
Hence he believes in the equality 
of the sexes, and, of course, in 
woman's right to the ballot. He is 
a friend of the working-man, but 
not a believer in strikes ; and he 
believes, moreover, iu j)rogress, 
here and hereafter, and that an 
honest man is the noblest work' of 
God ! Eesidence, Berlin, Worcester 
County, Mass.

Shears, Rev. Alonzo Groes- 
BECK, M. A., M. D. Born in Wash- 
ington, Dutchess County, N. Y., Feb. 
3, 1811 ; (Horace Greeley's birthday 
also). Educated at Wesleyan Uni- 
versity, he became M. A. at Trinity, 
Yale, and Columbia colleges, and 
M. D. of New York Medical College, 
all favorite institutions with him. 
He was ordained by Bishop Whit- 
tingham, in Trinity Church, New 
York city, March 4, 1849 ; founded 
the New Haven (Conn.) Suburban 
Home School, of which he was rec- 
tor and proprietor seventeen years ; 
visited Europe and the East; 
preached in Great Britain, Rome,

where iu his travels, his family ac- 
companying him as far as NajDles. 
He wrote a Memoir of his son for 
the " Early Dead ; " a Sermon on 
Brotlierhj Love, (Toledo, O.,) Laus 
Deo, with music, (1867), Letters from 
Abroad; editor of New Haven Mu- 
sical and Masonic Journal, and con- 
tributed to various i)eriodicals, both 
prose and poetry. At the present 
time, and for several years past, he 
has had charge of a parish in New 
Haven, Conn. Like the noted edi- 
tor and xjhilosopher whose natal day 
and year were identical with his 
own. Dr. Shears has exhibited a 
self-denial, courage, and enterprise, 
that have not failed to bear lasting 
fruit of a most gratifying character, 
not to himself alone, but to multi- 
tudes both living and dead. For 
him to become educated, in the best 
sense of this common word, was to 
manifest this trio of traits of char- 
acter, with a perseverance worthy 
of the best of causes. We saw a 
statement, a year or two since, that 
in early boyhood, he voluntarily 
sold his favorite skates to buy an 
English grammar and geography

with, the proceeds I Many of our 
6cliool-boys have reversed this proc- 
ess ! Dr. Shears used to say, with 
much satisfaction, ho -was able to 
buy for himself rockers on which to 
skate with his pupils of the Subur- 
ban. The periods of his horseback 
rides in summer, and of his sleigh- 
rides in winter, were devoted to the 
acquisition of the rudiments of a clas- 
sical education. Full a third of a 
century he wlioUy ignored the use of 
tea, coffee, and tobacco, and it was 
only at the Xetherlands that he be- 
gan the moderate use of tea and 
coffee, where the guide-book said 
drink auythmg but water! He 
never used tobacco, except a single 
cigar ! Unaided by other resoui-ces 
than his own labors and savings 
made available, time and progress 
■were to Dr. Shears, of the deepest 
interest and value. Later in life, 
and when much study would be to 
many, to an excessive degree, " a 
weariness to the ffesh," he found or 
saved time from professional and 
other duties, to give himself form- 
ally and with success, to the study 
of medicine, not so much as a pro- 
fession as an art. In how many 
senses is it true, that what we sow, 
we shall reap. See '• American 
Odd Fellow ■' for a, d. 1855, for Dr. 
Shears's portrait, p. 32, and his me- 
moir, p. 57. He was state chaplain 
of the Order, fifteen years.

being equal) ivill outrun in wealth 
and prosperity the nation whose dollar

Tewksbury, Isaac, M. D. Age, 
83. Physician and Surgeon. Dr. 
Isaac Tewksbury, the oldest medi- 
cal practitioner in Lawrence, Mass., 
and one of the venerables of the 
faculty in Essex County, was born 
in West Newbury, Mass., Jan. 13, 
1795. Availing himself of the edu- 
cational advantages of his time, he 
became early qualified for a teach- 
er, and a portion of his early life 
was spent in that employment, 
teaching schocils in West Newbury, 
East Haverhill, and in that neigh- 
borhood. One of his scholars, who 
has since become distinguished, 
was John G. Whittier, then a lad of 
eight years. This youth then began 
to attract attention ; and, on a cer- 
tain occasion, his teacher, Mr. 
Tewksbury, remarked of him that 



" if he lived to be thirty years of 
age, he would occupy a prominent 
position in the literary world ! " 
This remark was based upon his 
knowledge of anatomy and physi- 
ology, — phrenology not then having 
become recognized as a suggestive 
science. Still aiming in the direc- 
tion of the medical profession, Dr. 
Tewksbury attended anatomical 
lectures in Gloucester, Mass., and 
otTier places, in connection with his 
study of medical works. In 1817 
he commenced the practice of his 
profession in Hampstead, N. H.,

ferred upon him by the faculty of 
Dartmouth College, signed by

Censors ; Peter Bartlett, secretary. 
In the same year he joined the New 
Hampshire Medical Society, and 
for several years hold the offices of 
councillor and censor. In the 
second year of his practice he en- 
tirely (\iscarded the use of mercury, 
and entered his protest against it 
as a deleterious medicine ; in con- 
sequence of which he encountered 
fierce opposition from prominent 
and popular physicians, but he 
firmly faced their hostility, and 
established a high reputation as a 
medical practitioner. In 1847, 
thirty-one years ago, he removed to 
Lawrence, Mass., where he still 
resides, and in the 84th year of 
his age is now actively in practice, 
retaining all his faculties of body 
and mind to a remarkable degree ; 
and at this advanced age illustrates 
the advantages of a temperate and 
well-ordered life, by the exhibition 
of a " sound mind in a sound body." 
The early companion of his days 
long since ])assed to her repose, 
whose place is now filled by another 
to share the joys and sorrows which 
attend his days' decline. A some- 
what numerous family of children 
are living, some of whom are resi- 
dents of New England, and others 
are in distant portions of the coun- 
try. In his religious opinions he is

tured Monday evenings (during 
six months in the year) at his 
own church, to audiences number- 
ing from 1,800 to 2,300 people. 
This exhausting labor made a com-

ous, but since the story of General 
Jackson and his New Orleans cot- 
ton bags has been exxiloded, we see 
no sort of difficulty in the way. 
Having enjoyed the advantages of 
a good common-school education, 
Mr. Thomas afterwards removed to 
the town of Woonsocket, in the

publican. Baptist Clergyman. The 
Eev. Apollos Phelps Yiets, son of 
Deacon Daniel Viets and Beulah 
(Phelps) Viets, of Suflield, Conn., 
was born in Granby, Conn., Sept.

nncles and cousins on his father's 
side, the Eev. Eoger Viets, Et. Eev. 
Bishop Alexander Viets Griswold, 
and the Eev. Drs. Tyng of New 
York, Episcopalians; and on his 
mother's side, Eev. Dr. S. D. Phelps, 
etc. He was brought up on a 
farm ; was several years a teacher 
in the Southern States, and at the 
North ; has been pastor about eight 
years in Connecticut, being lirst 
settled in a jjart of his native town; 
then pastor for about twenty years 
in Hancock, Mass., ministering oc- 
casionally in adjacent towns, and 
durin|5 all this time serving as 
superintendent of public schools.

sion work, — self-supported. Here 
he was first on the field, and organ-, 
ized a church. His i^ublications 
are sermons, poems, school reports, 
and various miscellaneous articles. 
He is a believer in Christianity and 
the simplicity that was in Christ 
Jesus. He believes that the "gospel 
should be preached to the poor 
without money and without price," 
— a belief which he has always put 
in practice, " all for love and not 
reward." While not asking, he has 
always received a good support, as 
promised by the Master. He enter- 
tains a belief that pride is creeping 
into the pulpit and the pew ; that 
there is too much extravagance in 
building and supporting gaudy 
church edifices; that the general 
display of dress is a waste of money; 
and that the call for contribulions, 
which almost exclude the poor, 
shows a form of pomp rather than 
piety, — of glory rather than godli- 
ness, drifting world-wise and away 
from the mind that was in Christ 
Jesus. Being of an unobtrusive and 
retiring disposition, he has never 
pushed himself forward, and only

giving his whole time to the work 
of the ministry. Studious, pro- 
gressive, laboring to know person-

fourteen different times, the intense 
heat breaking the glass out of the 
signal lantern ! and Mr. Wiggiu was 
kept constantly at work and re-

with their noble engine through

(Vt.) Seminary, entered Wesleyan 
University, Middletown, Conn., in 
1861, and graduated in 1865, having 
served nine mouths of that time as 
a private in the 6th Massachusetts. 
He ranked, at graduation, sixth in 
a class of thirty-five, and earned 
all the money spent for his educa- 
tion (except two dollars) by manual 
labor, teaching, and preaching, so 
that at graduation he left college 
free from debt ! Joining the New 
England Conference, he was, in 
1865, appointed pastor of the church 
in Medway, Mass. In 1866, trans- 
ferred to the Vermont Conference, 
he was appointed professor of Latin 
and natural science at Newbury 



(Vt.) Seminary. This institution 
was, two years afterwards, trans-

moved to his present home in North 
Haverhill in 1872, and in March 
last was for the fifth time re-elected 
to the offices of town clerk and 
treasurer of Haverhill, by a vote so 
much in excess of his party's 
strength as to prove an unmistak- 
able endorsement of his manner of 
conducting the town's aftairs. It is 
barely possible that Mr. Weeks has 
a special gift for public office, as 
during his long previous residence 
in his native town he has held the 
various positions of moderator, 
selectman, town clerk, and county 
treasurer. After he becomes mayor 
of the city we shall look to see him 
fill the first congressional vacancy.

H., in the year 1827. He was edu- 
cated at Phillips Academy, Andover,

him in another direction ; and at 
the age of seventeen he was teach- 
ing music in the same academy, 
and afterwards taught music in the 
public schools of Lawrence, Mass., 
for a period of five years. He re- 
moved to Lowell, Mass., in 1851,

Watson has held many offices of 
honorable trust. He has been a 
member of the state legislature,

business for himself, "^aud conducts 
it successfully to the present 
time. He was elected alder- 
man of the city of Providence, 
from ward 9, iu Jan., 1877, and was

number of years on the school 
board, and is a director of the 
National Bank of Commerce. Pie

ing on AVeybosset and Custom 
House streets. This five-storied 
building is one of the' most costly 
and magnificent in the State of 
Rhode Island. It is built of brick, 
with granite and pressed trimmings. 
It has a splendid stairway con- 
structed of variously colored mar- 
ble reaching to the top story, with 
a very heavy and beautifully- 
polished black walnut balustrade. 
Its steam elevator, also, is of the 
latest improved pattern, and every 
part of the building is constructed 
to correspond. Its offices are occu- 
pied mainly by agents of insurance 
companies and of manufacturing- 
interests, brokers, and real estate 
men, etc., etc. 

Webbesi, Chaeles Hexry. Age, 
33. Independent iu politics. Editor, 
Author, and Publisher. Mr. ^Yeh- 
ber was born in Beverly, Essex 
County, Mass., March 30, 1845, He 
is a son of William E. Webber, one 
of the earliest mustard manufactur-

was a lineal descendant of the 
grandfather of Gen. Israel Putuam. 
Mr. Webber was educated in the 
public schools and at Torrey's

was a resident for forty-eight years 
of the town of Stow, Mass., where 
he held different town offices, and 
went to the legislature. He has 
lived thirteen years in Hudson, 
where he is assessor for the present 
year. He has taken out two patents, 
one for making shingles, and one

regnlarly every presidential year 
for Andrew Jackson. It is certain, 
however, that Truman Wolcott, like 
a true man and good democrat as 
he is, gave his first vote tor the 
" hero of New Orleans " in 1828, 
and has neither missed a town meet- 
ing, nor changed his politics since! 
He has never been sick, and was 
always a temperance man, but not 
a prohibitionist. He held the office 
of postmaster under Postmaster- 
general Amos Kendall ; but resigned 
in 1840. P. O., Hudson, Mass.

his studies at Tilton (N. H.) Semi- 
nary. He has been in the house of 
representatives four terms, and 
served one term, last year, in the 
state senate. He was reared a 
farmer, and followed that healthiest 
of all occupations till 1859, when 
he became interested in a woollen 
flannel manufactory, and is now 
both farmer and manufacturer. P.

Webster, Chas. Fred. Age, 44. 
Lawyer. Charles F. Webster, Esq., 
was born in Fitzwilliam, N. H., in the

and at Amherst College. He was 
chosen chairman of the board of 
assessors for the town of Barre, 
Mass., in 1877, and was re-elected 
in 1878. P. O., Barre, Mass. 

Warren, Alden. Age, 66. Re- 
publican. Blacksmith. We confess 
to a very great degree of respect 
for Mr. Alden Warren, who modestly 
calls himself a blacksmith, instead 
of following the fashion of the day, 
and claiming to be an ' 'artist in iron," 
or a " forger of thunderbolts for the 
gods," as Vulcan did in the olden 
time. Mr. Warren has seen too 
much of the world to be guilty of 
such nonsense. He was born at 
Littleton, Mass., in the memorable 
year 1812, and has been for forty- 
nine years a residence of Groton, 
Mass., where his carriage manufact- 
ory is a feature of the town. He 
finds a place in this " Official Di- 
rectory," because, for twenty-four 
years he has held the office of town 
treasurer of Groton, Mass.

Weeks, Hon. Nathan H. Age, 
52. Democrat. Eetired. Mr. Weeks 
was born in Guilford, N. H., March 

9, 1826. He was reared on a farm, 
and at the age of twenty-one years 
removed to the town of Thornton 
in that State, where he was elected 
superintending school committee 
and selectman. He has repeatedly 
filled those offices, and has been 
elected and re-elected and sent to 
the legislature half a dozen times. 
Possibly to avoid office, in 1864 he 
went to Woodstock, where his abil- 
ities were at once recognized, and 
he was made selectman in 1865-66, 
and the townsfolk of the shrewder 
sort sent him as their representative 
to the legislature in 1865, '66, '67, 
and '68; and merely to maintain 
the succession of years they gave 
him a seat in the governor's coun- 
cil in 1869-70, and in 1871-72 sent 
him again to the legislature. This 
was a little too much ! and in the 
the latter year he removed to Plym- 
outh, Grafton County, where he 
now resides. But here the good 
people soon found him out, and in 
1874 they made him high slroriff of 
Grafton County, and he held the 
office till a change of administra- 
tion, after two years, brought about 
a change in county officers. Yet he 
was better than the politicians of 
his time ; for, while in office as a 
democratic high sheriff, he retained 
iu his original position Cax)tain 
George Farr, a republican deputy, 
against the usual practice in such 
cases. In 1876 Mr. Weeks was 



elected a member of the constitu- 
tional convention, which made 
many important amendments. It 
present he is not in active business. 
He is the owner of two farms and 
has one-fourth interest in a large 
paper-mill situated iu Bristol, N.H. 
He possesses great business tact; and 
we may say of him, — what can be 
said of few politicians, — his long 
public record is unsullied by a sin- 
gle blot. 

Wentwoeth, Geoege a., a. M. 
Age, 43. Professor of Mathematics 
in Phillips Academy, Exeter, N. H. 
Prof. Wentworth was born in Wake- 
field, N. H., July 31, 1835, receiving 
his preparatory education at Phil- 
lips Academy, and graduating at 
Harvard College in the class of 
1858; entering as sophomore in 
1855. He was immediately elected 
assistant teacher of Greek in Ex- 
eter Academy, and in 1859 received 
the appointment of professor of 
mathematics in that institution, 
which position he now holds. He 
is the author of " Went worth's 
Elements of Geometry " for the use 
of schools, published in 1853. 

Wilson, Ezra A. D. Age, 35. 
Paper-maker. Mr. Wilson is a na- 
tive of Connecticut, and was born 
in the town of Manchester in the 
year 1843. At the age of seven 
years he removed with his parents 
to South Lee, Mass., and at the age 
of eighteen enlisted in the Union 
army as a member of the 49fch 
Massachusetts regiment. After serv- 
ing the full term for which he had 
enlisted he received an honorable 
discharge, returned to South Lee, 
remained there one year, then went 
to Connecticut, and afterwards to 
Knoxville, Tenn. Two years of 
life in the South, however, was 
sufficient, and his next move was 
for Massachusetts, where he ac- 
cepted the nomination of city clerk 
for the first city government of 
Holyoke in that State. He has 
been active in the temperance re- 
form movement, and was the first 
president of the Holyoke Eeform 
Club, and was re-elected to that

naval service during the late war, 
was on board the "Housatonic" 
when she was blown up in Charles- 
ton Harbor, and is now a leading 
lawyer of Iowa, having declined an 
election to congress! The 'West 
suits some, and young men go there 
on good authority. But its forced, 
rapidly-growing life had few charms 
for Augustus, as he viewed it after 
two years' experience. He had 
finished his educational studies at 
Newbury and at Meriden, and 
"went West" to seek his fortune. 
But he was glad to get back to 
Grafton County and to his home in 
Lisbon, where he has since resided. 
There he has been the leading jus- 
tice of the peace and notary-public 
in the county, and most cases in 
adjoining towns have been brought 
before him as trial justice. He has 
been deputy United States marshal, 
and was for eight years assistant 
United States assessor of internal 
revenue, aud for twelve consecutive 
years moderator of the town meet- 
ings. He has been town cierk, a 
member ot the republican state 
central committee for years, and is 
at present chairman of the county 
committee. He was elected to the 
legislature, aud served iu the ses- 
sions of 1875, '76, and '77 ; and at 
the last election, although the town 
went democratic, his faithfulness 
to the interests of his constituents 
was recognized and endorsed by re- 
electing him to the same office. 
Mr. Woolson is an active politician, 
but a man of the highest and 
strongest sense of honor ; and, at 



the last session of the legislature, 
w^as elected speaker of the house.

Berwick, and Canaan Union acade- 
mies, entered Dartmouth College in

18(51. He studied law with Samuel 
Wheeler of Dover, N. H., and with

His lectures on "John Brown,"
